Hearing Yuan Mengge's words, Li Xue'e asked in confusion, "Now? But isn't that a very high-tech thing? I heard it can play games and stuff."
Yuan Mengge nodded: "Yes. You can play, but the games nowadays are all pretty simple. The internet isn't very developed either, so there aren't many things to play."
Li Xue'e looked at her suspiciously: "You seem to know a lot about that thing. Do you often go there to play?"
Yuan Mengge took out her homework and said while writing, "No, I don't really know much about it."
She really didn't know much about computers from that era.
I've been browsing the internet these past few days and I feel that old computers from this era are really not very user-friendly; websites and software aren't as smart as they used to be.
If she hadn't had the operating system, the computer would have kept disconnecting from the internet and crashing.
Li Xue'e looked at her, her eyes slightly conflicted.
However, Yuan Mengge didn't give her time to think about it, and instead pulled her aside to give her some guidance.
Yao Dongqing was still cursing outside, and Yuan Dasheng came up and joined in cursing her.
Yuan Mengge and the other person listened silently inside the room.
Fortunately, Yao Dongqing and Yuan Dasheng only cursed outside and didn't come into her room to cause trouble.
The two had no choice but to block out the outside noise, but it was too loud.
Yuan Mengge listened for a few minutes, initially intending to ignore it, but the two showed no sign of stopping.
She suddenly stood up from her chair, turned around, walked to the door, opened it, and yelled at the two of them, "Can you be quiet? I need to do my homework!"
Yuan Dasheng shut his mouth instinctively after being yelled at.
Yao Dongqing yelled back, "What's the point of writing? With your grades, it'll all be wrong anyway. What's the use of studying? Stop writing! You'll just end up using it as fuel."
Yuan Mengge said to her, "I'm telling you, if I can't study hard, I'll tear this house down!"
As she spoke, she walked out, went to the television, and lifted it above her head with both hands.
"Ah—Stop!!!" Seeing her lift the TV directly, Yao Dongqing and the other woman were so frightened that they stood up, their eyes wide as they reached out to stop her.
"What are you doing? Put the TV down right now!"
Yuan Mengge looked at them expressionlessly: "Are you still going to curse or not?"
Yao Dongqing is very frugal; this television set cost a lot of money to get.
At this time, television sets were no longer subject to purchase restrictions based on television tickets, but they were still very expensive.
Black and white televisions cost several hundred yuan each.
And you have to go to the county town to buy it.
Buying one is not easy; it costs money and effort.
So when they saw Yuan Mengge about to smash the TV, Yao Dongqing and Yuan Dasheng were instantly in a bind.
"Okay! Okay! Put the TV down!" Yao Dongqing looked nervously at the TV above her head and quickly replied.
Yuan Mengge glanced at them and asked again, "Are you sure?"
Yao Dongqing and the other woman nodded quickly: "Yes, yes! Put it down first!"
Yuan Mengge put the television down, clapped her hands, and then turned and went into the room.
Seeing that she had put the TV down, Yao Dongqing and the other woman finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly put the TV back in its place.
Yuan Mengge returned to her room and closed the door.
The living room became quiet, and even the television volume was turned down.
Yao Dongqing and Yuan Dasheng both fell silent.
Li Xue'e stood at the door watching Yuan Mengge move the TV. Although she was somewhat surprised, she was not so shocked.
She suddenly realized that this was indeed something Yuan Mengge would do.
She's even gotten somewhat used to it...
Yuan Mengge's warning was very effective. For the next two hours of study time, it was relatively quiet outside, and the TV volume was reduced considerably.
It wasn't until 11 p.m. that Yuan Mengge put down her pen, stood up, and stretched her shoulders and neck.
"I'm going to take a shower first, Li Xue'e, you go to sleep first." She said to Li Xue'e as she opened the closet and took out her pajamas.
When she went down to the kitchen, Yuan Xiangyong and Master Tian had already finished their drinks and parted ways.
Yuan Xiangyong had drunk too much and was now resting in his room.
Everyone else was asleep, and the TV was off.
After taking a shower, Yuan Mengge crawled into bed.
Li Xue'e was still awake. Seeing her come in, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "By the way, when do you start school?"
There were only a few days left before school started, but she didn't know the exact date.
Yuan Mengge said, "Registration will begin on the 26th."
Today is the 22nd, there are still a few days left.
Li Xue'e said, "Speaking of which, what kind of magic pill did you take these past two days? How come your studies have suddenly improved? Just the other day you seemed to understand nothing at all..."
The strangest thing she noticed about Yuan Mengge these past two days was her learning ability.
Yuan Mengge lay in the same bed with her and said, "Hmm... I used to just not want to study, that's why I didn't want to study. Now that I'm serious, my grades have naturally improved."
Li Xue'e squinted at her: "Really?"
But that seems to make sense... Otherwise, how could a person's learning ability change overnight?
Yuan Mengge said, "But what will you do in this house by yourself after I go to school? This is a wolf's den, and you are the sheep. If I, the sheepdog, am no longer here, you sheep will just have to wait to be eaten."
Li Xue'e looked at her, not quite understanding: "Sheepdog???"
There are no sheepdogs in the south because there are no large grasslands and no large-scale livestock farming, so there is no sheepdog breed here.
Therefore, Li Xue'e had no idea what a sheepdog was.
Yuan Mengge: "They are dogs that can help grassland herders guard their sheep and fight wolves. They can be found in the vast grassland areas of Northwest China."
Li Xue'e then realized: "Oh..."
Yuan Mengge thought for a moment and then suddenly said, "How about I stop living at school? It only takes about twenty minutes to ride a bike to town. I can just ride fast."
So she goes out in the morning, stays in town at noon, and comes back after school in the afternoon.
The only problem is that we can't study at school in the evenings anymore, which means we'll have fewer opportunities to ask teachers questions.
But it doesn't matter, there's Li Xue'e at home, she can teach.
It would also save on boarding fees, but that's not important...
Li Xue'e looked at her and said, "Are you not planning to live at school because of me?"
Yuan Mengge said, "I'm not comfortable leaving you home alone. What if they bully you? Can you fight back?"
Li Xue'e shook her head.
Yuan Mengge said to her, "If you really want to rebel, you can do it. You just don't have the desire to rebel right now."
After all, her current thoughts are still not free from the psychological manipulation and control exerted by the Li family.
